10 FCS players that will make impact in NFL
A year ago, if someone told you a quarterback from Football Championship Subdivision power North Dakota State would be starting for the Philadelphia Eagles as a rookie, you would have shaken your head and walked away. Carson Wentz is being given that chance, however, this Sunday.
If you're looking for another FCS quarterback to jump up into the first round, you'll probably be waiting a while. But there are plenty of players at that level likely to make an impact in the NFL. Here are my top 10 worth watching during the 2016 season.
